Oprah Sells Penthouse in Less Than a Week

Oprah Winfrey sold her New York City penthouse for $7.9 million in less than a week, with buyers starting to line up as soon as the property hit the market on Feb. 22, according to media reports.

A British financier, whose name has not been disclosed, made an offer right away and will close on the penthouse next month.

Winfrey purchased the penthouse in 2008 for $7.1 million in the name of her late cocker spaniel.

The 26th floor unit is 2,530 square feet and has three bedrooms and includes a 768 square foot balcony, a master suite with three walk-in closets, and views that extend from New York's Central Park to the Hudson River. Oprah reportedly never lived in the penthouse, but her friend Gayle King had occupied it.
